Yes, you should build more housing. But if you're retired, you have to deal with the situation you have now.

You are describing how the should operate given the current situation and assuming it doesn't change. I am saying the current situation is bad and needs to change. I think that what you are saying is unproductive because it gives off the impression that you think that "bad things are good/acceptable, actually".

> then they should make more money

Like this, this is such an incredibly simplistic response that it feels more naive even than a statement like "everyone should be able to live in a big city". If everyone simultaneously makes more money it just changes who is priced out. The current game is zero-sum, I am saying it should not be.
